More quotes by Muhammad Ali
Every day is different, and some days are better than others, but no matter how challenging the day, I get up and live it.
Muhammad Ali
No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.
Muhammad Ali
America don't have no future! America's going to be destroyed! Allah's going to divinely chastise America! Violence, crimes, earthquakes - there's gonna be all kinds of trouble. America's going to pay for all its lynchings and killings of slaves and what it's done to black people.
Muhammad Ali
I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky my name, not yours my religion, not yours my goals, my own get used to me.
Muhammad Ali
I can drown a drink of water. I can kill a dead tree. Don't mess with Muhammad Ali.
Muhammad Ali
There ain't no such thing as black Muslims. That's how they tried to cut off all my brothers in the rest of the world and divide us in America and make other Muslims think that we are not with them.We are all the same. I recognise them and they recognise me. I'm invited to all of their homes all over the world and I'm invited to Muslim countries.
Muhammad Ali
I never thought of losing, but now that it' s happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.
Muhammad Ali
The sun is always shining someplace.

I need to get everything straight. I'm not involved in a power struggle between black and white.
Muhammad Ali
A lot of wars are fought between black and whites daily in America. But if it's something I want to be with, the people who started it were black, I wouldn't not get in it.
Muhammad Ali
So now I'm going to forget the 400 years of lynching and killing raping and depriving my people feeding of justice and equality and the lowest of low last respect and I'm going to look at two or three white people who are trying to do right and don't see the other million who are trying to kill me? I'm not that big of a fool.
Muhammad Ali
I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.
Muhammad Ali
We believe that the Honorable Elijah Mohammed is the apostle of Allah, God, but I'm only a helper and a minister of his.
Muhammad Ali
I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
Muhammad Ali
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
Muhammad Ali
Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.
Muhammad Ali
To succeed,all I need to do is suffer.
Muhammad Ali
In Florida I was illiterate, Boxing Authority didn't want me, then they had a special psychiatrist to come to Kentucky, they checked and they didn't want me. But as soon as my name was Mohammed Ali, as soon as I announced I was a Muslim, then all of a sudden I became smart.
Muhammad Ali
Whatever the challenge was, however unattainable the goal may have seemed, I never let anyone talk me out of believing in myself.
Muhammad Ali
